That was my point. Having the most sub-10s in a year record is a greater indicator of simply racing too much rather than actually being one of the best

773 wind legal sub 10s ever. 5000+ sub 4:00s. This isn’t even considering the fact that the 100 is raced more frequently than the mile and the 5000+ number doesn’t include 1500 equivalents.
And it is insane that Asafa accounts for more than 10% of all sub 10.00s
I totally agree that IAAF points-wise sub-10 is much harder to accomplish -- but that's not my point. You have to consider that on the international circuit a lot of 1500s / miles end up tactical which skews the times slower, while there's no such thing as a "tactical" 100. So even though sub-4 is WAY easier to accomplish technically, the fact that there's *only* about five times as many sub 4s is kind of incredible when you think about it especially when you compare to the number of pro sprinters.
My point was that recently, breaking 10 is not that special for a pro unless you're young or not American / Jamaican, and neither is the question of who ran the most sub-10s in a year except as footnote trivia.
There are vastly more pro 100m races each year than miles.
3:38 has been broken over 8000 times.
If we gave a very generous 1500m conversion of 3:40 (it's more like 3:42) then extrapolation shows that the number would greatly exceed 12,000.
Sub 10 is nothing like a sub 4 mile by any measure. It's like a 3:35 1500. Even if the race is tactical you expect elites to run 3:35. But 3:42/4:00 is too slow.
